The City of Superior Environmental Services Division is hosting a community art collaborative to create an ice orb sculpture as part of the Lake Superior Ice Festival, taking place on Barker’s Island on Jan. 27-28. Superior residents, businesses, classrooms and organizations are encouraged to join the ORB365 community art collaborative. Participants will pledge to use less water or work to prevent water pollution for the year. Participant’s pledge is symbolized by ice orbs where each orb represents each day of the year that clean water is important to them. The community goal is to make 365 ice orbs. To register for this collaboration, or for more information, please contact the City of Superior’s Environmental Services Division at 715-394-0392. A registration and waiver form is available on the City of Superior’s website.
